Hi Wen, Sorry to hear you've been in pain, that's most unpleasant. Hope you're feeling better. I have been away from Blogland in real life with kids on school holidays, going to the beach, and making lots of yummy food for hungry mouths! Not to mention the extra mess...!

The photo collage by Shane is gorgeous, and I love Mascha's wreath. That's a great idea to group my textures, I hadn't thought of that. Happy New Year, and I hope it's renewing and creative for you.Hugs,Jesse

Wonderful inspiration

"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, an art which could be for every mental worker, for the businessman as well as the man of letters, for example, a soothing, calming influence on the mind, something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue."

"An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc."
